I'm having trouble finding the exact quote, but it's said that Gareth Edwards' favorite monster villain from Godzilla is Battra.

[Fievel]

disregarded this previously because of how bad the last one was, but with Cranston and Watanabe I'M IN

This is me exactly. Didn't give two shits about this movie but after that trailer and that cast I'm all in day one.

This thing is more than double the size of that shitty Godzilla. That's nice to see.

God...everything about this is coming off like an even more serious version of Godzilla Returns/Godzilla 1985 and its got me so PUMPED. Am so excite for the King to just open a can on anything and everything in his way.

Edit:

I love how Emmerich pitched a Godzilla design that they thought Touho would hate.

Gareth Edwards trailer breakdown
http://bcove.me/9caschu4

Spoiler: show

• [00:10] 15 years ago a “natural disaster” (read: giant monster attack) tore apart the Brody family – now father and son, Joe Brody (Bryan Cranston) and Ford Brody (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) once again find themselves caught in the middle of another “natural disaster.”
• [00:40] Edwards indicates the “flying” origami in the trailer foreshadows future events – e.g. the unnamed flying monster we see later in the trailer.
• [01:10] The story takes place on a global stage (including Las Vegas) – but is centered on Ford’s journey (likely searching for the origins or home of Godzilla and the other monsters).
• [02:40] Edwards teases a key scene and memorable performance from Ken Watanabe (who plays Daisuke Serizawa) that has deep thematic relevance to Godzilla lore.
• [03:20] A bomb intended for “nuclear tests” (read: attempts to kill Godzilla) is stamped with a “Ghostbusters style” icon of the bomb’s target – Godzilla.
• [04:00] The idea that nuclear tests were actually failed attempts to kill Godzilla was part of Edwards’ original pitch to the studio. The challenge was figuring out where to go from there.
• [04:35] Edwards comments on the theories surrounding the mysterious “tentacle holding a bomb” (Note: it’s not actually a tentacle holding a bomb).
• [05:10] The director wanted Ford to be a related hero (not a superhero). The film starts with him returning from a tour of duty to his family (including wife Elle played by Elizabeth Olsen) – before his history with “natural disasters” pulls him into the current crisis.
• [05:30] Edwards used score tracks from other movies to help him conceive shots – including the work of Godzilla composer Alexandre Desplat as well as the 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) track “Requiem, for Soprano, Mezzo-Soprano, 2 Mixed Choirs & Orchestra.”
• [06:40] The director lists the terms that he often uses to describe the film: epic, realism, and emotional. Edwards asserts that if audience members don’t get close to tearing-up, he will have failed – highlighting a scene between Joe and his wife, Sandra (Juliette Binoche), as an example of the film’s commitment to emotional character drama (a scene that likely takes place in flashback).
• [07:20] Edwards comments on the “big bones” (an enormous skeletal structure) shown in the trailer – claiming that the monsters in Godzilla are not “magically created.” He asserts the film attempts to be as “realistic as possible” – even in exploring where the creatures come from and how they got here.
• [08:30] A montage of scenes that Edwards claims are “little clues” to what the film contains. For our own analysis of these scene, check out our feature Godzilla: Other Monsters We Could See in the Reboot.
• [08:50] The director reiterates his rules for designing Godzilla: Imagine he really existed and in the 1950s someone saw him in Japan and they tried to explain him to the guys at Toho – who then made movies based on that description. Yet, when you see him in the new movie, you understand how they got that look but the reboot version “feels” like the true version of Godzilla.
• [09:37] Edwards explains the work behind updating the character’s classic roar to fit with the modern more “realistic” design.

If this movie isn't the perfect excuse to be put into a drug induced coma for a couple of months I don't know what is..

Its crazy to think this, but I'm in the same boat as you. Its crazy because I'm a huge movie buff, and there is so much good coming out this year, but what I am looking forward to the most now is a huge gamble.

As usual the early toys spoil everything

Spoiler: show

Possibly the last of an ancient species of giant amphibious creatures that evolved at a time when the surface of the earth was over 10 times more radioactive than it is today. GODZILLA can convert his radiation stores into a violent, focused exhalation of atomic ray. Rarely seen, but spoken of in antient Pacific Islan myths. 'Gojira' was last spotted in 1954 when the U.S Navy encountered and attempted to kill him with an atomic blast in the Pacific Ocean. Since then, the giant creature has been living in the deep ocean - until a threat to his survival from an ancient foe forces him to reappear.

Here's what the excerpt reveals to us about both Godzilla, MUTO and the film's plot:

Godzilla is amphibious

Godzilla is male, not female

The atomic blast from 1954 did not kill Godzilla

Godzilla has been asleep in the Pacific Ocean for decades

The MUTO is an ancient creature, from the same time period that Godzilla existed in

Both Godzilla and the MUTO were natural enemies

Godzilla's atomic ray is consistent with previous films, though a rare occurance. Possibly because it does him harm or depleats his energy. The weapon may be more of a "last attempt" to survive, rather than a casual tool of destruction

Something resurrects the MUTO, which threatens Godzilla's survival

There could be more than one Godzilla in hibernation deep in the ocean

The information revealed from this description opens up our understanding of what Godzilla is and where he came from, as well as an idea of what the MUTO actually is.
